I’m lucky to have a good connection with Lisa at my first appointment that I had the reassurance to continue with therapy. It’s my safe place to release my worries and anxiety. I have recommended BetterHelp.

An excellent therapist with an incredibly natural and friendly manner. She has a gift for helping people find perspective. She’s fun, too.

Even after my first week of therapy with Lisa, she really helped me understand and manage things that I have really been struggling with. “It is like some weight has been lifted off my shoulders”. Lisa is a really great listener, empathetic, genuine and nonjudgmental. I thank her so much for everything so far! And could not recommend her enough.

She has helped me so much and truly valued out time together she's a great person to have and works with me well :)
Written on Oct 14, 2025 after therapy with Lisa for 7 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, lgbt, grief, sleeping disorders, self esteem, coping with life changes, coaching, and adhd
Lisa is a terrific therapist and I am incredibly grateful for her! She is so very kind and very thoughtful in her approach; she knows when I need “tough love” or when I need a softer approach (which I can say from experience is not the case for every therapist!)
I really appreciate that Lisa always offers me many ways to cope with my stress/adhd and motivates me to put the theory into practice, so to speak. She helps me with healthy communication within my relationships and holds me accountable so that I can be the best version of myself.
I know Lisa puts her best foot forward with each of her clients in order to help them achieve their goals. I can honestly say that I wouldn’t be who I am today without Lisa. Thank you so so much, I am so grateful for you Lisa!

I've had a few sessions with Lisa and already feel much better than in other experiences with therapists who I didn't feel they understood me well. With Lisa it's been quite organic and I feel supported and she seems to understand about the struggles I've brought up. I'm really happy and will continue my sessions with her. Every week I make mental notes about things I'd like to discuss with her. It feels like a great consistent follow up to stay on track with my progress, goals and growth.

Lisa has been a great help over the past several months. She has supported me when I needed it and helped me arrive at some realizations that would have taken me much longer if I had been alone. I am lucky to be paired with Lisa. 10/10 stars, would recommend.

I had a a great experience undergoing therapy with Lisa. She managed to help me find myself back and get out of the mental mess I was in. She helped me to see everything in a different and more empowered light.

I've been very scared of therapy, because in past attempts I did not feel understood. With Lisa, those fears have evaporated and I look out to our sessions now! Talking with Lisa is easy and I feel seen. Best therapist I've ever had!

Lisa is a great listener and helped me to work through problems large and small in a healthy way. She had a good pragmatism and strength as a patient listener.
Written on Mar 26, 2024 after therapy with Lisa for 4 months on issues concerning depression, relationship issues, and anger management
Lisa has quickly come to understand me and the issues I'm dealing with. She remembers things I've said from previous sessions so I don't have to keep going over the same thing. Lisa is down to earth, which I like as I'm a realist by nature. Lisa has also been flexible with booking sessions and timings. I'd highly recommend.
Written on Feb 11, 2024 after therapy with Lisa for 2 months on issues concerning relationship issues, intimacy-related issues, and self esteem
Lisa is an amazing therapist and I can’t recommend her enough! I originally started working with her to cope with my breakup and never planned to use therapy for more than a month or two, but it’s almost been half a year now because she’s also helped me so much in other areas of my life. Whatever concern I have, she offers really good advice, is a great listener and I always find my sessions with her very beneficial.
I really appreciate that I can feel that she also cares about me as a person and not just as a client.
I’m so grateful to have her as my therapist and wholeheartedly recommend her.
